Not serviced for a few years as the plumber that did it said the servicing doesn't actually do much, it's a glow worm betacom 30c. Thanks for assistance

Hi, when cold the pressure is 1.0 but when the heating comes on it goes to 1.4 to 1.6, is this normal? Thanks for your help

Thanks, please find 2 photos attached

I'm sorry but I don't know, how would I find this out?

###UPDATE### Well finally found a plumber who would come and have a look. Drained the radiator, he then changed the TRV valve as he thought it might be blocked - still not heating up so he now thinks there might be a blockage in the pipe leading to the valve further down the pipe that leads...

Distance from board to oven around 40ft on a 5 kw oven

Then yes, they have 2 cables coming into them at the rear. Thanks

Sorry for being ignorant bhm1712, but how would I find this out? Can you confirm whether the original sockets were from the ring final circuit ?

I always trust Dad, that's why I did it as he explained the current draw and what cable is ok etc. But after doing the kitchen I don't want it to catch fire. As I said, dishwasher twice a week off 1 socket, fridge freezer and kettle off another last 1 is microwave and original sockets are...

No, I employed him direct but now am worried kitchen will catch fire. My father us a retired electrician, 49 years, said it's ok but perhaps "modern " sparkies are more cautious? To replace the wiring he said is a days work for £300 including the cable. The reason I did it this way was due to...

Needed an electrician as the brand new extension didn’t have a cooker cable so needed to run a 10mm armoured cable outside around the house into the consumer unit with 45A fuse. Now, the job. I ran a 2 ft 2.5mm cable from 1 socket for convenience. The existing 2 sockets that this runs off...

I've added 2 extra sockets in my new kitchen both running off separate existing wall sockets. 1 is for kettle and other for dishwasher. Original sockets won't be used due to new kitchen design. Ran it with 2.5mm cable. Electrician doing my cooker cable said 2.5mm isn't ok for these sockets, is...

I should have done that when the system was drained, just refilled it and added inhibitor.

Yes, the bleed valve is fully open. Haven't tried the other side, will try it tomorrow. Will post update tomorrow.

Thanks to all for your advice. Once I refilled the combi this rad was hot at the bottom so I thought problem solved. However, once I started to bleed it it went cold, as did each pipe. Every rad is hot except this 1. I've taken trv off and pushed the pin down but to no avail, can't understand...
